I am honored for the opportunity to share Rule Breakers, a film that tells the incredible true story of @roya.mahboob_ and the Afghan Dreamers—young women who defied the odds and changed history for girls in Afghanistan through their passion for robotics and innovation. Bringing Roya’s journey to the screen has been a privilege, and I’m endlessly inspired by the resilience and brilliance of these girls. A huge and heartfelt thank you to the real Roya, Elaha, Ali, and the incredible Afghan Dreamers team. You are the heroes and stars of this story. Thank you for trusting us to bring your journey to the screen. Huge thank you to our amazing director, @billguttentag , the incredible cast and crew, and everyone who made this film possible. And a special thank you to @angelstudios_inc for believing in this story and bringing it to audiences everywhere. And of course, a big thank you to @chaviv_hair for the mermaid hair, @zazi.vintage for this one-of-a-kind dress made by women artisans in India, and @artijaan.co for the beautiful jewelry handmade by Afghan women artisans. Rule Breakers hits theaters nationwide on March 7—can’t wait for you all to see it! 🎬♥️

“We’re not children, we have to fight too.” Rule Breakers, coming to theaters March 7. Get your tickets at the link in bio. 💛 #AngelStudios #RuleBreakers
@rulebreakersfilm premiered last night and I want to give thanks to everyone who sent messages and shared your support—it truly means so much. I’ve been reflecting on the experience of making this film, and it feels fitting to share those thoughts on International Women’s Day. During prep, the archetype that came to mind over and over again—the one that shaped my approach to Roya—was Joan of Arc. Like Joan, @roya.mahboob_ saw a future that didn’t yet exist, and with faith and incredible determination, fought to make it real—not just for herself, but for an entire generation of girls. She’s an extraordinary figure who has changed the course of history. And just—wow. I am deeply inspired by all the extraordinary women involved in bringing this story to life— @roya.mahboob_ , or co-writer @elahamah (played beautifully by @yekta_heidari) , our incredible all-star robotics team!!! (@amberafzali @saramalalrowe @niiinz @mariam.saraj), all the real Afghan Dreamers who paved the way for this story to exist. Behind the camera and behind the scenes, we had so many outstandingly talented women who made this film what it is—from production and camera to hair and makeup, costume, and every other department on set. The women on this crew brought their skill, artistry, and dedication to every moment of this film, and I am so grateful to each of them. Nothing ever happens unless someone dreams it first. And yet, it takes a team, a village, to bring that dream to life. Our brilliant director, @billguttentag, led this film with kindness, generosity, and a deep belief in Roya’s story. His vision and dedication made this entire project possible. Ali, Roya’s brother and coach of the Afghan Dreamers, mentored these girls and fought for their right to dream bigger. @nooringulamgaus brought his story to life with such beauty and sensitivity. Thank you @angelstudios_inc inc who’s belief in this story helped bring it to audiences. And so many others in front and behind the camera that serve as a reminder of the power of allyship. Change happens when we show up for each other, when we listen, and when we stand together ✊🏽💗

“Heroes don’t wear capes”: The inspiring new film @rulebreakersfilm tells the story of the all-girls robotics team from Afghanistan that fought for the opportunity to compete internationally in 2017. @roya.mahboob_, who came up with the controversial idea, and @boosheri, who plays Roya in the film, tell CBS Mornings about the “resilient women” who faced “real danger and threats” to chase their dreams.
